                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ARKERS games.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week THE CHOSEN went 4-1-0 to move up 4 
in the rankings.  SKARAG MORSNAGA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested VIRTUOUS SCRIBE and was awarded 19 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ALBUS BONERATTLER put down 
CONSTITUTION, causing it to lose 4 points of recognition in the process.  The city 
has turned out in honor of GETTYSBURG, for with its arena victory it may now lay 
claim to the highest position in the city!  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if 
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 
7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In ARKERS "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  SMITHSONIAN is feared.  This much I can say.  
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part 
of last week avoiding SMITHSONIAN.  Indeed it was BLOODY HAND CLAN.  Mighty fighters 
cannot but expect competition from those below.  RAL STORMBREAKER take warning!  You 
have more than a few enemies in ARKERS.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers 
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks 
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
